Objective: To study the effect of protective ventilation and open lung strategy on extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in rabbits with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: Saline-lavaged, anesthetized ARDS rabbits were divided into (1) a moderate tidal volume (V(T)) zero positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) group (MVZP group): V(T) 12 ml/kg, PEEP 0 cm H2O; (2) a low V(T) zero PEEP group (LVZP group): V(T) 6 ml/kg, PEEP 0 cm H2O; (3) a low V(T) best PEEP group (LVBP group): V(T) 6 ml/kg, PEEP 10 cm H2O; (4) a low V(T) best PEEP + sustained inflation (SI) group (LVBP + SI group): V(T) 6 ml/kg, PEEP 10 cm H2O + SI. EVLWI was measured by single indicator thermodilution technique at baseline, 0, 1, 2 and 3 h.
Results: In the MVZP, LVZP, LVBP, and LVBP + SI groups, EVLWI in the ARDS model [(22.3 +/- 5.6), (20.0 +/- 3.8), (25.7 +/- 9.7), (22.5 +/- 6.2) ml/kg, respectively] was significantly higher than those at baseline [(11.3 +/- 2.4), (10.2 +/- 2.4), (10.3 +/- 4.6), (9.7 +/- 2.3) ml/kg, respectively, all P < 0.05]. In the MVZP group, EVLWI at 2 h and 3 h [(32.0 +/- 12.2), (36.2 +/- 12.4) ml/kg] was higher than that of 0 h [(22.3 +/- 5.6) ml/kg, P < 0.05]. In the LVZP group EVLWI at 2 h and 3 h [(27.8 +/- 12.9), (30.3 +/- 13.0) ml/kg] was also higher than that of 0 h [(20.0 +/- 3.8) ml/kg, P < 0.05]. In the LVBP group, EVLWI at 1 h was (18.5 +/- 8.1) ml/kg and was lower than that of 0 h [(25.7 +/- 9.7) ml/kg, P = 0.027]. In the LVBP + SI group, EVLWI at 1, 2, 3 h [(16.8 +/- 6.5), (18.0 +/- 7.1), (15.7 +/- 2.7) ml/kg] was lower than that of 0 h [(22.5 +/- 6.2) ml/kg, all P < 0.05]. There was significant difference among the four groups at 1 h and 3 h (all P < 0.05). At 1 h and 3 h, compared with MVZP group, EVLWI of the LVBP and the LVBP + SI groups were significantly decreased (all P < 0.05). At 3 h, compared with the EVLWI of the LVZP group, EVLWI of the LVBP + SI group was significantly decreased (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Lung protective ventilation and open lung strategy could decrease EVLWI.

To investigate cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body composition, health behaviors, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYA-CS) compared with age-matched counterparts without a cancer diagnosis. This cross-sectional study recruited participants aged 15-25 years at the time of their cancer diagnosis and ≥ 5 years post-treatment. Participants completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, food diaries, physical activity (PA), fatigue, and HRQoL questionnaires.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Decrease in female sex hormones during menopause increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, mainly ischemic heart disease (IHD). Quercetin, a flavonoid, has beneficial properties in CVDs due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a collection of intestinal disorders that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. Prolonged inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to fucus on gene expression levels of (KRT-14; associated with epithelial cell integrity) and enhancer of zeste homolog-1 (EZH-2; involved in cellular proliferation) in a IBD rat model in order to rule out impact of nutraceuticals (pumpkin seed oil; PSO) as a complementary approach to conventional treatments of IBD.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.
